Time Period: A Flashback

Rumple's p.o.v

I kissed my pregnant wife goodbye and then headed off to war. In the distance, a village was

underattack by Ogres. I rushed to help those poor innocent people. I encountered a frightened

homeless little girl. She reminded me of Prince Charming and Snow White. Perhaps she was their

granddaugther. Long ago I heard rumors about their daughter Emma dating a pirate named Killian

Jones. Killian impregnated Emma. She gave birth to a daughter later on. "My name is Spirit. My

dad's name is Killian Jones. We got separated. I can't find him anywhere" the little girl cried. "Spirit, I

will protect you" I vowed carrying her from the battlefield.

Rumple's p.o.v

"You still have your daughter's baby blanket" I bring to Emma's attention. "I found Spirit's blanket

among the dirty clothes at home. Seeing her baby blanket brought back memories" Emma recalls.

"OH really, dearie" I smirk. "You still haven't answered my question. What do you know about my

daughter" Emma pressures me. "In another life, you were a princess. Against your parents' orders,

you dated Killian Jones who was a pirate. You gave birth to a daughter named Spirit. You were not

allowed to build a life with Killian and Spirit. The Ogre Wars tore your family apart. I rescued Spirit

from death. She grew up to be a famous oracle" I recount. "Spirit and Avalon are now best friends"

Emma adds. That name, Avalon stirs something deep within me.
